Ever heard of the lèse-majesté laws in Thailand? Now imagine a dictator able to use that to silence critics globally that are "cyberbullying" them. We already see it with countries filing bogus Interpol requests to harass dissident diaspora members. And sure you could have an independent body, but then that is subject to politics and capture.

Yes, let's imagine how humans will try to exploit a system like this. Concentrate power like that and people will absolutely try to abuse it. Someone has to set and enforce the rules, and that means one single global point of failure.
Welcome to the interconnected world we live in. Better than pretending we are separate.
